DSG wouldn't select gear
« on: October 26, 2012, 12:15:59 pm »
Got in my car today, started it up, put it in D there was no drive and the engine just rev'd free.  I tried R and S still no good so put it back in park and tried again still nothing. 

So I turned the car off and restarted it and it was fine, gave it a little hammering on the way to work and it was faultless, has any one come accross this before and should I be worried?

cheers guys

Well when I say a little hammering that was at the end of an 8 mile trip, just tried my car again and it was fine.  Also just spoke to my local speciallist and he said it might just be a one off but if it does it again to get it in the check for fault codes and the dredded M word was mentioned!!

I can be the first pearson to have this!?!
